As a seasoned author who appreciates each new audience, George has years of experience with each of these formats. The feedback from these prior hosts speaks for itself:

“George was great. He was so amenable to ensuring his message was on point & appropriate for our audience. He is so credible & has terrific content. He was a big hit!" -- Sterling Partners, conference keynote.

"Thanks again for the personal touch last week. You had a great impact on our students." - Dean, Texas Tech

"Fresh and essential ... George has an easy-to-understand, conversational, almost storytelling, manner which again played very well to our audience. I would absolutely recommend him as a guest speaker, round-table participant, or keynote. -- Dave Summers, national webinar.
